The Wave Project - Surf Therapy

The Wave Project

When young people are referred to us, they are usually quite anxious. Our six week introduction to surfing helps them to overcome their worries about the water and feel more confident about taking on different challenges.

As well as learning to surf, participants are also supported by their own personal surf mentor, who encourages them in their surfing journey and helps build their confidence and resilience in the waves.

We also allow each surfer to work at their own pace and set their own challenges each week with a little encouragement from the group. By week six our young surfers are often much more confident and ready to take on other challenges in their lives.
